No, he is not. That whole thing is a political stunt.
I asked that question to MakingMoneyHoney:
Would you had believed in Jesus Christ if you did lived during Jesus Christ's time?
I think I asked you the same question.
The point is: if you don't believe the Pope, which is the Vicar of Jesus Christ on Earth you won't have believed Jesus Christ if you were living during his times (2000 years ago).
What makes you a Christian if you don't believe in Jesus Christ?
Thank You.
Since the Pope is not the vicar, I would have believed Jesus back then, just like I do now.
